I had to wonder, could Carrie Bradshaw find love with an old flame?<\/p>\n

And Just Like That season 2<\/a> is reportedly about to reunite with Sarah Jessica Parker\u2019s writer\/podcast host with her former fiance, Aidan Shaw.<\/p>\n

According to Deadline<\/a>, actor John Corbett will be reprising his Sex and the City role as the furniture maker for \u201ca substantial, multi-episode arc\u201d in the second season of the HBO Max series, which airs on Sky Comedy and NOW in the UK.<\/p>\n

RadioTimes.com<\/a> has reached out to Warner Bros Discovery for comment on this report.<\/p>\n

The actor previously teased fans when speaking to Page Six<\/a> prior to the release of the first season, claiming: \u201cI think I might be in quite a few [episodes]\u201d.<\/p>\n

However, Aidan was ultimately absent from the first season of the Sex and the City sequel series and it was later confirmed by Carrie actress and producer Sarah Jessica Parker to be a joke on Corbett\u2019s part when she spoke on\u00a0Watch What Happens Live.<\/p>\n

It turns out that it was never the plan for Aidan to put in an appearance in the first season of And Just Like That, with producer Michael Patrick King explaining to Deadline that the series was focusing on Carrie\u2019s journey through grief.<\/p>\n

King said: \u201cThis season was a lot. We wanted to get her through [Big\u2019s death] and into the light\u2014the last episode is called, \u2018Seeing the Light.\u2019 We wanted to get her out. [Aidan\u2019s return] is a big storyline that everybody at home wrote that we had never intended.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, it seems, that Aidan\u2019s return will be a major story for Carrie Bradshaw going ahead.<\/p>\n

The first season ended with Carrie pursuing a romantic connection with her podcast producer Franklyn (Ivan Hernandez), but could she find herself drawn to Aidan again?<\/p>

Aidan was last seen in the film Sex and the City 2 where he and Carrie shared a kiss despite both being married to other people and Aidan being a father-of-three.<\/p>\n

Carrie had previously dated Aidan in the third season of the original show but they split when she cheated on him with Mr Big. The pair later reconciled in the fourth season and became engaged but split after Carrie couldn\u2019t commit to him.<\/p>\n
